Speaker Bio

Steve Jay is an assistant professor in the Fischell Department of Bioengineering at the University of Maryland. After earning a B.S.B.E. in biological engineering from the University of Georgia (2004), he completed his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering at Yale University (2009) under the guidance of Dr. Mark Saltzman (with current CBEE Prof Erin Lavik serving as a committee member). From 2009-2013, he undertook a postdoctoral fellowship in cardiovascular biology and bioengineering with Dr. Richard Lee at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School, working also with Dr. Linda Griffith at MIT. He joined the University of Maryland in 2013, where his lab focuses on biotherapeutic development and delivery for a variety of disease applications.



Abstract

"Design and Delivery of Bio-therapeutics: Towards Cancer Therapy and Vascular Regeneration"

Our lab focuses on molecular engineering towards development of novel biomolecules with therapeutic potential. Additionally, we explore the therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles (exosomes) as drug delivery vehicles and alternatives to cell-based therapies. This talk will focus on our efforts to exploit engineered multivalency as a method to enhance the efficacy of HER3-targeted ligands for cancer therapy. The potential of extracellular vesicles in therapeutic vascularization applications will also be discussed.
